Little is documented about the original recording behind Tharkj, and the clip circulates mainly under its short title and the tuluk tuluk tag. It spread as a reusable soundboard clip rather than as a full track, shared in short edits and reaction posts where a brief rhythmic loop is needed. Its appeal comes from how recognisable the repeated chant becomes after one listen, even without a known artist or scene attached to it. That anonymity has helped it stay flexible, fitting many different jokes and formats online.
